Emergency power outages have been implemented in several regions of Ukraine due to the massive Russian missile strikes tonight.

Keep in mind, this is on top of the already scheduled rolling power outages currently in place for almost all regions.

Russian forces have captured the village of Vyshneve, Pokrovsk'e direction, Dnipropetrovsk Oblast.

Pre-war population: ~926.
Total land area: ~1.94 km².

The Ukrainian soldiers still stationed and effectively encircled at the bottom of the Pokrovsk pocket in Lysivka and Sukhyi Yar remind me of those who were encircled in the industrial zones outside Avdiivka.

Neither time were they given the order to withdraw in time, even though there were weeks of opportunities to do so.

The Ukrainian command does not care about these soldiers and is happy to use them to delay the collapse of their PR cities for propaganda purposes. This is absolutely disgusting and should be a wakeup call for those who still think otherwise.

The next round of map updates will come tomorrow once I have the energy to post about it. I covered the missile attack for over 12 hours straight with no breaks today lol.

This means some of the info provided will be slightly delayed, but there will be a lot to talk about regarding Pokrovsk. It also means some of the other Ukraine-related news I planned to post about wont be covered today.

One of the targets of last night's massive missile strike on Zaporizhzhia City was the Zaporizhzhia Cable Plant, as evidenced by this geolocation. A large fire was seen burning there into the morning hours.

Explosions in Dnipro. A Grom-E1 rocket-powered glide-bomb just impacted the city.

David, if you're so supportive of the Ukrainian command letting thousands of Ukrainian soldiers get encircled, maybe you should go fight!

But I doubt they would want a 500 kg behemoth like you fighting, even though Ukraine has such a critical shortage of manpower.

Russian forces have captured the village of Krasnohirske, Pokrovske direction, Zaporizhzhia Oblast.

Pre-war population: ~23.
Total land area: ~0.21 km².

Russian forces have captured the village of Pleshchiivka, Kostyantynivka direction, Donetsk Oblast.

Pre-war population: ~591.
Total land area: ~0.78 km²

Russian forces have captured the village of Nelipivka, Kostyantynivka direction, Donetsk Oblast.

Pre-war population: ~41.
Total land area: ~0.12 km².

Situational update from the Pokrovsk Direction as of 31/10/25 06:00 (Kyiv Time) - Part 1:

In short, the situation is catastrophic for Ukraine. I estimate that there is a BARE MINIMUM of 500 soldiers effectively cut off in and around Myrnohrad, however some successful withdrawals have taken place.

In Pokrovsk City, Russian forces continued their advance towards the northern outskirts and now control the majority of the city. They have captured the rest of the northwestern industrial zone and broke out of the city limits to the nearby treelines. Here, they were able to infiltrate all the way to the outskirts of the stronghold village Hryshyne where Ukraine's main defences are located. Reinforcements from elements of the 32nd Mechanised Brigade were successfully withdrawn from northern Pokrovsk and are now deployed in Hryshyne alongside the 68th "Jaeger" Brigade.

However, the main Russian push on this axis has been towards the Ukrainian strongpoints southeast of Hryshyne. These strongpoints were bombed with several FAB glide-bombs, including a FAB-3000, completely destroying them. Russian soldiers are now attempting to cross the dam next to the reservoir and enter the treelines where these strongpoints are located, while simultaneously infiltrating further into the northernmost neighbourhoods of Pokrovsk.

In the city centre, Russian forces were able to clear the remaining pockets of Ukrainian resistance in the Pervomaika District and city centre, capturing Pokrovsk's Administrative building and railway station. With these new areas secured, FPV drone pilots have been deployed to the central suburbs of Pokrovsk, while forward deployment and accumulation points were set up in the southern suburbs, allowing for a significant increase in the supply of heavy weaponry and vehicles into the city.

In the eastern suburbs, after dislodging Ukraine from their main defensive stronghold, the Russians achieved a breakthrough to the northern outskirts of Pokrovsk. Small, mobile Ukrainian assault groups are attempting to clear them out but are having no success due to Russian numerical superiority and the fluidity of the frontline. Russian forces have since advanced east, bypassing the high-rise district from the north and capturing the church area. They also entered the main factory in the eastern suburbs of the city, where they are attempting to push towards the park.

In the southeastern suburbs of Pokrovsk, Russian forces fully consolidated west of the highway and entered the villages of Hnativka and Rih. Neither village has been brought under full control, but Russian presence here is significant.

In southern Myrnohrad, Ukrainian forces withdrew from their main defensive positions in the 3-story-buildings after being bombed by numerous FABs, with very few soldiers remaining in the southern suburbs of the city. Some forces are now stationed in the northern suburbs of the city, while others attempted to escape the pocket through the small corridor of fields while being targeted by Russian artillery and FPV drones. As a result, the Russians were able to capture practically all of southeastern Myrnohrad, along with the terykon, and reached the central high-rise district.

In the northeastern suburbs of Myrnohrad, Russian forces managed to dismount and enter the main high-rise district here. They quickly gained a foothold and linked up with other forces advancing from the treeline further north. At least 10 high-rise buildings are under their control now. Artillery and FAB strikes are targeting the main Ukrainian defensive positions in the western part of this high-rise district, ahead of the Russian advance. Additionally, they were able to enter the city at a new point, advancing from the Kapitalna Industrial Zone to the low-rise residential areas, where at least 12 blocks were brought under their control.
